Chapter Seventy-Three: Can We Cooperate?

"What does the prince want to ask?" And put all her people out there.

"It's not safe outside, there are a lot of people, and it's inevitable that there are ears on the wall." Xu Shizi explains

"One thing I want to know is if my nephew's illness can be cured?" Then Xu Shizi asked straight to the point.

In the county lord's mansion, Hua Xin was glued to Shen Yafei all day long, and he had no chance to be alone with Shen Yafei at all, so he and his eldest brother never had a chance to ask these words.

Seeing that Xu Shizi was so serious, Shen Yafei didn't say anything to him, "I'm not sure." Originally, the medicine man was hopeless, he was still the child of the medicine man, and those poisons had been in his internal organs since he was not born, and it was really not so easy to cure them. All I can say is that I tried my best. ”

"How sure are you?" Xu Shizi asked.

"Fifty percent. I can help him control his condition, but it will be difficult to recover to the same as a normal person in a short period of time. I haven't found a suitable way yet. Shen Yafei said.

"Thank you." With Shen Yafei's words, Xu Shizi felt at ease, "I know that you have been very busy lately and are relatively short of manpower, so if you need to, feel free to tell me." Xu Shizi noticed that except for Shen Yafei, Zhiyu and Dabao, who could occasionally meet each other in the county lord's mansion recently, the other people were often nowhere to be seen.

"You still need to add more people to your house. I know you have a lot of information about who you have, so why don't we work together? Your county lord's mansion is fighting alone, and your opponent is so powerful, sooner or later you will be caught by them one day. I can also see these days that your purpose is to severely punish those who develop the Poison Yan Gu Medicine Man. It just so happens that this group of people is also the people we have to deal with, and the more allies we have, the more power we have. What does the county lord think? ”

"Working with you? Isn't that just cooperating with the prince? The prince should know that it is impossible for me to cooperate with the crown prince and King Ning. And what he wants is the world, I just want to punish some enemies, we have different goals, I don't have that much ambition. And what do you think your chances of winning, it's not that I want to fight you, the prince has been fighting with them for so many years, aren't they still jumping very hard? Shen Yafei smiled lightly.

"That's right, it's such a powerful person, does the county lord really think that the other party won't notice what you've done? If you still want to deal with them, then you must stay in the capital. But stay in the capital, then you will have to face their forces, and one day they will find out that you did the thing. It's just that you've made too much of an impression on people before and they just haven't noticed you yet. Does the county lord really think he can fight them? If the world of the Celestial Empire falls into the hands of these people, will the county lord really think that they will let you go? "The prince is approaching step by step.

Shen Yafei snorted, "Can't I run if I can't fight?" Does the world think that I am a man who stands still and is allowed to be overpowered? ”

Unfortunately, a lot of things in this world are unpredictable, and sometimes, you may be dealt with before you even know it. The county lord doesn't want to think about the people around him, every person around you is so good to you, the county lord definitely won't want to see them end up badly, right? Xu Shizi has lived in the county lord's mansion for so many days, he can clearly see the relationship between Shen Yafei and her subordinates, and he knows that in Shen Yafei's heart, those people are her relatives and the people she cares about the most.

When Shen Yafei heard this, she raised her eyes to look at Xu Shizi, who also looked at her very seriously.

"The prince may not be able to win." Shen Yafei said, Xu Shizi nodded and motioned for her to continue, Shen Yafei continued, "You want me to cooperate with you, in fact, it is also the prince's meaning." With the prince's current body, I don't know if it can support it to the end, right? Don't you want me to work with me because you want me to treat the prince? ”

Shen Yafei smiled and continued: "Actually, you don't need to go to such great lengths. Although I will not be willing to treat the crown prince and King Ning, I have never stopped you from going to Zhiyu and them. If they volunteer to help you, I won't stop you. ”

In her previous life, her mind was never on the court, but she often knew the news from some guests. In her last life, it was seven or eight years since she died, and at that time, the prince and King Lang fought to the death, and in the end, although she won, the people around her were also killed and injured. It's just that she doesn't know how long the prince survived after her death, she only knows that until she died, she hadn't heard that the prince and King Ning had children. At that time, King Lang and King Yuan were also gone, and in the end, she couldn't deduce what the pattern of the Celestial Empire was?

When Xu Shizi heard Shen Yafei's words, he looked at her in surprise, only to see Shen Yafei smiling, and Xu Shizi was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

After a while, Xu Shizi shook his head and smiled bitterly, it turned out that they had taken too much care and thought too much.

"Then I will thank the county lord for the prince and King Ning first."

These two pieces of information were what Xu Shizi wanted, and Shen Yafei's response was very much in line with his expectations, so Xu Shizi didn't say anything more, and the two went out to the wing room again, eating, chatting, and listening to books.

Sending Shen Yafei back to the county lord's mansion, Xu Shizi went to find the prince and conveyed Shen Yafei's meaning to the prince and King Ning.

The prince also shook his head and smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that they had been trying their best to get Shen Yafei to agree to his request, but he didn't expect that people didn't care at all.

"Why don't we go to Miss Zhiyu now?" King Ning said anxiously.

"Or don't. In fact, it doesn't have to be a knowing girl, in fact, the four maids around Shen Yafei have very good medical skills. "Xu Shizi also found out recently, when Shen Yafei was ill two days ago, Zhiyu went to take care of Shen Yafei, but a medicine man in their house also had an accident, and Dayin subdued him very easily. There are also Zhiyan and Dabao, and he has also seen these two people treating other people.

"Are you saying that the four maids around her are all very good at medicine?" The prince thought it was incredible.

Xu Shizi nodded, "That's right, but the best should be Zhiyu." And Dayin is also very powerful, and I often see her developing drugs. ”

"She is surrounded by such powerful people, why does she want to go back to the capital?" The prince could see that Shen Yafei didn't have much affection for the Shen family, and she didn't have any feelings for A-Ning, what would she do when she went back to the capital?

"She said she had enemies in the capital." Xu Shizi said.

"Her enemy? Who? The prince squinted his eyes and thought about it, Shen Yafei didn't see anyone she had rectified when she returned to Beijing? Except for the people around her, all the people who used to serve had an accident.

"You mean the people she used to serve?" The prince exclaimed in surprise.

After Shen Yafei returned to Beijing, the biggest change was the people around her who used to serve, the injured and the dead, and one was sold and his whereabouts are unknown.

"I think the most important thing is the people behind these people." Xu Shizi was skeptical.

According to Xu Shizi, that is to say, this group of people was sent to Shen Yafei by other people, why? The crown prince glanced at King Ning, and King Ning was also at a loss.

"And when are we going to find them?" The prince asked again, this matter still has to be resolved as soon as possible, he is worried that his body will not be able to bear it. Before, he only fought with King Lang alone, and now there are hidden dangers buried around him. Hua Yuan is a traitor, so how many people did he put around him? The prince didn't know, fortunately, at least one thing he could rest assured was that the people he trusted the most were selected by himself, and he still had confidence in these people, but for the rest of the people in the palace, the prince didn't know. To fight them, his body must be well maintained.

"Wait until I and the county lord pass the anger first." Xu Shizi said.

"Didn't you say she had already agreed?" The prince asked incomprehensibly.

"It was with her consent, but her people haven't agreed yet. When her maid agrees, then do you go to her house for healing, or let her people come to your house? None of this has been talked about. If you go to the county lord's mansion, no one will be able to enter without her consent. Xu Shizi said, "There are a lot of traps in the county lord's mansion, just like a net from heaven and earth, you can't get in." ”

"I'm not in favor of going to the county lord's mansion, mainly because my goal is too clear. It's easy to be discovered, so it's not good to involve the county lord. The prince said.

"I'll arrange a place as soon as possible." King Ning said.

"I'll arrange the place." Xu Shizi raised his eyebrows and said, "The goal of the two of you is too big, I am a gentleman who only eats, drinks and has fun all day long, I do everything as I like, and not too many people will notice." ”

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you." The crown prince believed in the ability of the prince and looked at him trustingly.

"By the way, the power of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother in the palace is too strong, and the people I sent in. All in vain. The crown prince couldn't help but be a little frustrated, the queen mother and the queen have been in charge of the harem for so many years, this harem has long been their world, and their people can't enter at all.

"Maybe, maybe Shen Yafei has a way." Xu Shizi said.

"She? She has only been in Beijing for a few days, how can she install people in the palace? The prince said.

"It's true that she's only just returned to Beijing. But how did you think the queen's illness came about? Xu Shizi winked at the two of them.

The crown prince and King Ning opened their mouths slightly in surprise.

"She's not willing to work with us, though, so I'm not sure she'll help us." Xu Shizi said.

"Recently, Fu Yin came to report that there are often people in the suburbs of the capital who report missing cases. The people we sent to the manor to keep an eye on also said that they hadn't seen anyone inside come out these days. I think they're on the lookout. And you said that they are out of that manor, are there medicine people in other places? King Ning said.

"But what do they want to do when they move the medicine man to the capital? Is it trying to usurp power? Xu Shizi twisted his eyebrows.

The prince was also very puzzled, but he didn't see any action from them? If you want to seek power and usurp the throne, then do you want the entire capital to be buried with you? How insidious this is.

"We need to find a time to get it in there."

King Ning agreed, "But you may still need the help of the county lord of Minyi." If we go, we will not be the opponents of those medicine men at all. ”

"Hmm. And the medicine man in my house is also recovering well. I wonder if they can be used against those people? The prince pondered, "However, this matter still needs Xu Shizi to ask your eldest brother." ”

"Okay." Xu Shizi readily agreed.

"Then you can go back first." The crown prince said to the prince.

After Xu Shizi left, the crown prince said to King Ning: "A Ning, you heard what Xu Shizi said just now, what kind of person do you think this Shen Yafei is?" She could be the apprentice of the Holy Doctor, and she still has a grudge against the people in the capital, and she did such a thing to that woman? So who sent the people around her? Why did you send those people to Shen Yafei's side? ”

"I don't know." King Ning was also puzzled, "But if the people around Shen Yafei were all sent by others to calculate her, then what did she do to Xin'er?" Did she do it, or did those people do it? ”

King Ning is also confused by this kind of thing now.

"Let's leave it alone, let's get to the bottom of the disappearance on the outskirts of the capital as soon as possible. My father said that he would hand over the case to me, and that he would temporarily return the military power to me, and if I could not investigate the matter clearly, then the only way to do so would be to return the military power. He will also make a different plan for military power. "King Ning can't figure it out, so he doesn't think about it anymore.

When the crown prince heard this, his brows furrowed, and his thin lips turned up coldly, "Father knows that this matter is very difficult to investigate, so he will hand it over to you." For so many years, he has not been close to us. If he hadn't connived at Concubine Li, how could something happen to the queen mother? If he hadn't connived at Hua Lang, how would I have been fighting with him for so many years. This father, I can't see more and more clearly what he wants to do! ”

"Actually, among our four brothers, his favorite son is Hua Lang. Otherwise, he wouldn't have handed over all the fastest meritorious things to Hua Lang to do, he just wanted to help Hua Lang save a good reputation. King Ning said.

But the woman wanted her son to sit on the throne. Why do you think Hualang still wants to cooperate with her? The prince was thirsty, and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Let's work together, destroy us first, and then fight the two of them." King Ning sneered, he could be played with by this kind of woman for so many years, "The death of the queen mother must have nothing to do with her!" ”

King Ning became more and more sure of this idea in his heart.

The crown prince looked at the scenery outside the house in silence, it was autumn again, and the queen mother had been away from them for seven or eight years. Even when the queen mother died, the most trusted person was still that woman, would it be sad if the queen mother knew that woman had calculated them for so many years?

"Have you taken care of the affairs in your palace?" The prince asked Lin Wanxin and Chen Xi.

After he left Chen Xi's courtyard that day, Chen Xi fainted and has not come to his senses until now. After Chen Guogong found out, he rushed directly to the door with the male of the Chen family. And the Gu poison in King Ning's body was also attacking, and the pain was much more uncomfortable than the poison he had in his body since he was a child. Yan Lijun told him that if he was not good to Chen Xi, he and Chen Xi would both be devoured by Gu poison.

King Ning covered his forehead in distress and sighed, "No." ”

"You've really gone too far this time, and it's clear who is right and who's wrong in this matter. If you have time, you should close the situation in the inner courtyard of your house, if something happens, I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it. The prince taught. He also witnessed the situation of King Ning's Gu poison attack, and he was worried that King Ning's body would be unbearable, "Whether you like it or not, for the sake of your body, you have to hold on." Don't forget, we still have the queen's revenge to avenge! ”

Lin Wanxin is also too ignorant, King Ning just didn't go back one night, so he had to do this. didn't even put her identity right, and a side concubine dared to rush directly into the concubine's bedroom to find the prince? That's weird too! A-Ning still doesn't blame her?

"Hmm." King Ning replied bitterly, he knew that he was too emotional this time. But every time he saw Xin'er suffering, he couldn't control himself. Also, if he is asked to be good to someone he doesn't like, he just can't do it. But since he treated Chen Xi like that day, his Gu poison attacks have become more and more frequent.

"Who will release the Gu poison on my body?" King Ning hated that person so much, and he was like this, and he had to face a person he didn't like for the rest of his life. And make yourself feel uncomfortable with what you like.

"Shen Yafei will poison that woman, and Xu Shizi said that she returned to Beijing to punish those who were around her. It shows that this matter has nothing to do with her, but it may have something to do with that woman. The prince analyzed.

King Ning clenched his fists and said angrily: "We have all been poisoned since we were children, why does she still do this to us?" ”

"Maybe she can't see how we're doing, right? Shen Yafei is just a scapegoat, so you should be polite to others in the future. The prince said.

"I see." King Ning said instructively.

When Xu Shizi returned to the county lord's mansion, he expressed the meaning of the prince and King Ning to Shen Yafei. Shen Yafei happily confessed to Concubine Ru. Concubine Ru has always wanted to take revenge on the queen, and she doesn't have anything tied up now, so she is very open to doing things. As for why Shen Yafei would believe in Concubine Ru so easily? It still has to start with the news she heard in her previous life.

In the previous life, after the crown prince ascended the throne, the queen and the queen mother, as well as Concubine Jin, were all cleaned up by the prince. But Concubine Ru sealed the concubine and lived in the palace of the Queen Mother. So when Shen Yafei met Concubine Ru in the palace, she suspected that Concubine Ru must have been someone who helped the prince in her previous life, and she must have hated the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother very much. That's why Shen Yafei will rest assured to tell her her plan to deal with the queen.

After hearing Shen Yafei's allies, Xu Shizi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that Concubine Ru, who had always been arrogant and brainless, turned out to be Shen Yafei's internal response in the palace. I didn't expect that Concubine Ru was also a person who hid deeply. He looked at Shen Yafei even more differently.
